The mixture 1/ must be homogeneous where there is one or more dissolved salts; 2/ should only contain one liquid component.
Explanation:
This method drives off the liquid components from the solid components. The process typically involves heating the mixture until no more liquid remains. Prior to using this method, the mixture should only contain one liquid component, unless it is not important to isolate the liquid components. This is because all liquid components will evaporate over time. This method is suitable to separate a soluble solid from a liquid.
Note : In many parts of the world, table salt is obtained from the evaporation of sea water. The heat for the process comes from the sun.
